I customized my coffee using Folgers® to pair with a raspberries and cream french toast bake as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #MyIcedCafe All opinions are my own.
The sun's shining. The snow's melting. It might even hit 60 degrees today! I think spring may finally be here! Along with the arrival of warmth comes the arrival of iced coffee! While I'll eat all kinds of ice cream during the winter months, I can't bring myself to drink iced coffee. But it's time! Mornings at my … [Continue reading...]

Easter. Did you know that it's less than two weeks away? I just figured that out. March flew by. I think the fact that there's still snow on the ground has me thinking that it can't be time for Easter yet. If you're in the same boat as me and need an idea for what to do for your Easter brunch, I have an easy idea for you. . .mocha chip muffins!
Muffins are a great addition to brunch, because they're easy to make and can be made the day before without losing flavor or freshness. These … [Continue reading...]

Despite the snow covering the ground thanks to a recent snowfall, my kitchen is in full spring mode! Lemons, berries, asparagus, I’ve got it all. Along with a long list of recipe ideas. . . First up, lemon meringue kiss cookies. Little melt-in-your mouth cookies that are filled with fresh lemon zest and juice. This […]

Happy first day of spring! As you can tell by the title I am ready for ice cream, especially ice cream that involves fresh strawberries! Of course, my husband and I eat ice cream all year long. I’m pretty sure we had a few conversations this winter that were somewhere along the lines of. . […]

Spring is almost here! It was in the upper 60′s this past weekend, and it felt wonderful! Of course, they’re forecasting lower 40′s for next weekend, but we’ll take the warm weather while we have it. While I like the warm weather that spring brings, there’s another thing that I get excited about when spring […]

Sorry for the unplanned absence this week! I caught a crazy cold on Sunday, and it’s been hanging on all week. Thanks to lots of fresh fruit, veggies, and, of course, Nyquil I seem to be getting better. I still sound kind of scary when I talk, but at least I’m coherent enough to write […]

It’s Friday! That means my husband comes home tomorrow! He’s been gone all week for a conference. In California. In temperatures that were 80 degrees warmer than here. I hope he actually gets on the plane to come back. . . I can’t say I’d blame him if he wanted to stay! While he’s been […]

How do you feel about having to wait less than 30 minutes before biting into a warm, gooey cookie? How about a warm, gooey cookie that is relatively healthy? If you are impatient and like to indulge without going overboard (like me!), you have to give this recipe a try! When I first saw a […]

I know it’s been awhile since I posted a breakfast recipe, so I thought it was about time that I shared another one. Okay, so maybe that last one was Tuesday with these cinnamon sugar chai donut muffins, but you’d think with the frequency with which I’ve been sharing breakfast ideas that I wouldn’t be […]

It’s been cold around here lately. As in below zero actual temp or windchill for the last I don’t know how many days. So what did we do this weekend? Trek across a frozen lake to hike on a snow covered island. It was nice to get out and enjoy the sunshine. That was until […]

Welcome! I'm just a girl with an addiction to being in the kitchen (and to running and extra-dark chocolate!)! I love to create new healthy recipes and give old favorites a healthy (read delicious!) makeover. [Find out more!]
